Cleaning

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply

before cleaning.

To maintain a high performance level, occasionally clean the condenser coils at the back of the appliance.

Defrost the appliance regularly. A build up of thick ice decreases the efficiency of the appliance. You should defrost whenever the frost reaches 5 mm thickness.

To keep internal odours to a minimum it is best to periodically clean the compartment.

Clean the interior using warm water and bicarbonate of soda with a soft cloth. Make sure that the interior is then dried carefully with a suitable cloth.

Do not use harsh abrasives, or aggressive cleaners

as these can damage the interior of the appliance.

Shelves and other accessories can be cleaned in the sink using liquid dishwashing liquid and warm water. Make sure all soap is rinsed off and all parts are dry before replacing them inside the appliance. Do not clean them in a dishwasher.

Always keep the door seals clean. Clean the door gasket with warm water or a neutral detergent that leaves no residue. A tight-sealing door gasket is critical to the efficiency of your appliance.

Do not spray or rinse the freezer with water or

other liquids. this could harm the electrical parts.

Use a dry cloth when cleaning near the electrical

parts.

Do not clean the appliance with a stiff or wire

brush.

Do not use an organic solvent such as detergent,

petrol, lacquer, thinners, acetone or acid.

to prevent your skin sticking to cold steel parts,

make sure your hands are not wet when touching the parts.

Do not use Hot water to clean the glass shelves, as

they may break or crack.

The Defrost Drain Hole

Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray (fig.5-1)and evaporates automatically.

The drain hole (fig.5-2)should be cleaned periodically with the drain hole cleaner. This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the refrigerator, instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole.

IMPortant: Please note that the drain hole cleaner should not be left in position permanently. Otherwise this may prevent the defrost water from entering the drain hole.
